Dawn of the Jed

After a tumultuous first semester in seventh grade, Jed Rivers returns triumphant -- or so he thinks. After embracing his undeadness to put his archenemy Robbie in his place, the thirteen-year-old zombie thought he'd have a much easier time surviving thesecond semester relatively intact. That was before he came across the antizombie propaganda published by the mysterious NZN Network, a group trying to push Hollywood stereotypes as the truth. Through fear-mongering and outright lies, the NZN Network willstop at nothing to get Jed expelled. Jed's attempts to blend in get even more difficult when news spreads that he's created a zombie dog. And it's no rumor. Jed shocks even himself when, after seeing a dog get hit by a car, he brings the dog back to life-- or at least to undeadness -- with his ooze. But not everyone is as thrilled as Jed with this new development, and he'll soon learn who his real friends are.
